Author Interview: Utilizing 3D Technologies to Study Tumor Cell Dissemination

In this episode, podcast host David Pechter invites SLAS Technology featured author Dr. Hossam Ibrahim (University College Dublin) to discuss his research on the dissemination of tumor cells to understand the mechanisms behind cancer metastasis. Tune in to hear how the research team developed a migration assay combining 3D models and a physiologically relevant extracellular matrix. Hear about the unique challenges faced by researchers while orchestrating the application of 3D technologies with high throughput screening methods.
